REGULATO RY AN D SUSTAIN ABLE EN VIRO N MEN TS
T
he Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan integrates comprehensive services, incentives, facilities, and initiatives to mitigate single-occupant vehicle (SOV) travel, thereby alleviating traffic congestion, reducing parking demand, and improving air quality.
I
n June of 2021, the City of Sunnyvale adopted an update to the TDM Ordinance, which amended Chapter 10.32 of the Municipal Code. The TDM Ordinance aims to address the transportation- related impacts of new and existing developments and establish strategies that decrease the number of daily vehicle trips to and from a property. This TDM Plan adheres to the regulatory framework set forth by the City of Sunnyvale's TDM Ordinance (Chapter 19.45). The implementation of the TDM Plan and its associated measures will result in the following objectives:
Alig
nment with Policy Goals:
• Supports transportation objectives of the Sunnyvale General Plan and Sunnyvale Climate Action Plan.
Promotion of TDM Programs:
• Encourages implementing TDM programs in industrial, office, and multi-family residential developments.
Reduction in Single-Occupant Vehicle Use:
• Promotes work-related alternative transportation methods, such as transit use, ridesharing, walking, and bicycling, to reduce SOV commuting, particularly during peak hours.
Improved Mobility and Efficiency:
• Aims to enhance overall mobility, circulation, and efficiency of transportation systems by decreasing SOV trips and total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within the community and region.
T
he outcomes of effective TDM Planning extend beyond the traffic-related benefits. These efforts have a consequential impact on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and represent a sustainable mobility paradigm. This holistic approach combines inventive strategies with established trip reduction methodologies, mobility-enhancing techniques, and energy consumption reduction programs, all executed citywide. The dividends of these endeavors manifest as the reduction of GHG emissions and other atmospheric pollutants, the enhancement of traffic flow and transportation connectivity, the diminishment of parking demand, and a corresponding decrease in energy-related expenditures.

In fill Developm en t
The proposed project will redevelop underutilized parcels within an established urban area. As the surrounding area is primarily developed, this project qualifies as infill development, which supports the objectives of reducing trips. Infill development is recognized as an effective TDM strategy based on national best practices and is projected to reduce peak-hour trips by nearly two percent.1
Proxim it y t o Com m ercia l Uses
The Sunnyvale Park Place project is within 0.25 miles of key commercial destinations. Arques Square is a shopping center with more than three tenant spaces. The map below shows several other separate retail, restaurant, service, or recreational uses.
P
roximity to commercial uses benefits residents by providing convenient access to daily necessities and services, thereby reducing the need for vehicle trips. This encourages walking, biking, or short transit trips, helping to reduce overall vehicle use and traffic congestion. 1 City/County Association of Governments (CCAG) of San Mateo County’s Congestion Management Program.

SECTIO N II – TDM IN FRASTRUCTURE MEASURES
The following physical infrastructure measures support alternative transportation commuters.
These measures are TDM components that exist or are added and installed during construction.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Fifteen percent of the project's housing units (48 units) will be designated as Below Market Rate (BMR). Households earning below the Santa Clara County Area Median Income (AMI) typically make fewer trips using personal motorized vehicles than higher-income households, reducing VMT. Affordable housing is crucial in enabling these households to reside closer to transit options, thereby providing greater access to convenient public transportation.
P RO VIDE P EDESTRIAN ACCESS IMP RO VEMEN TS
The project will install a 10-foot-wide, multi-use public trail from Stewart Drive to Swegles Park and provide a 20-foot easement. The TDM Site Plan on page 12 shows the 0.48-acre trail and easement connecting to the Pocket Park.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations
VTA supports the inclusion of the multi-use trail, the crosswalk on Stewart Drive, and the addition of buffered bike lanes on De Guigne. Where applicable, please recommend applicant reference the VTA CDT Manual in the design of these active transportation accommodations.
IN CREASED TRAN SIT ACCESSIBILITY
The project will relocate the existing bus stop on Steward Dr. to the intersection of De Guine Dr. It will add a callout to the bus stop location on the plans and emove a 40-foot portion of the curbside landscaping and connect the sidewalk to the curb to allow passenger boarding. It will also add a bench to be specified later through offsite improvement coordination.
BICYCLE PARKING FACILITIES
The project will feature on-site pedestrian and bicycle facilities, as well as connections to local and regional facilities, to encourage resident use. The Sunnyvale Park Place will provide Class I and Class II bicycle parking for residents to promote bicycle travel.

Vanpools are gaining popularity as Bay Area commuters become increasingly frustrated with heavy traffic. Now, VTA is making it more affordable for vanpoolers to pay for their commute with a $400 monthly subsidy, added to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) $500 vanpool program.
• 511 B
ay Area $500 Monthly Vanpool Subsidy
The Bay Area Vanpool Program provides qualified
vanpool groups with $500 off the monthly cost. It
also helps commuters find vanpool seats, start
vanpools, keep vanpools on the road with an "empty
seat" subsidy, provide free bridge tolls to qualifying
vanpools, and help vanpools get discounted parking.
The Transportation Coordinator will promote
vanpool incentives to residents.
